Which Should You Buy?
Carat is a divisive one: some adore its sparkling, fresh floral bouquet, others find it too sharp, synthetic, or just plain boring. If you fancy a spring garden in a bottle, give it a go, but expect a mixed bag of opinions.
This one is a real Marmite scent - you'll either love its gentle, fresh floral embrace or find it utterly perplexing and headache-inducing. The name might promise freesia, but don't expect a straightforward interpretation; it's a divisive blend.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Carat's clean, fresh floral profile makes it excellent for office and casual wear, as it's generally inoffensive. While elegant enough for formal occasions, some find its sillage too intimate, which might underwhelm for a date or sporty event where more presence is desired.

Occasions
Its generally light projection and fresh, floral character make it suitable for office and casual wear, though some find it causes headaches. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and isn't particularly romantic for a date, but its freshness could work for light activity.
